Macros in Word Document Tables

[enigma333]

I need a way to specify the cells in a table in a word document.

i.e. on exit cell goto cell below

can this be done in vba?

Well, not sure about VBA, but they're pretty much like Excel: a1, b2, etc.

Sorry To clarify.
I need to run a script when the user exits a table cell which will take the cell that the user left and specify the next cell to goto based upon it.

Why don't you use formfields for your table entry? You'll need to protect at least that part of your document, but formfields have an on-exit from which you can run code, etc.

View-Toolbars-Forms. Check them out. I think you'll like them, 'specially for tables.

If you need to protect just your table, you can insert a continuous section break above the table, and another below it.

If you previously had a one-section doc, it would make it 3 sections now, and you'll want to Tools-Protection, checkmark Forms, hit sections and protect Section 2.

This is a bit tedious for 20+ cells i was hoping for a way to have vba calculate the current cell on exit and use some algorithm to determine what the next should be
Thanks
